Mods: Installing and playing them

OK, could someone please give me some idea where I am supposed to install any mods I've download, and then how exactly do I select a mod to play? I looked in the Options menu and selected "Mod", but nothing comes up. It's trying to look in a Mods folder that doesn't actually exist. Finally, once I get the mods installed, how do I select a mod to play? Any help here would be VERY appreciated! I can't seem to find instructions on this procedure anywhere!

First off, each mod should have individual instructions as to how to install it. As a general rule, mods go in the C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Mods, \GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\Mods or \GalCiv2\Twilight\Mods folder, depending on what version of the game it is for. After that, you launch the game, go to options, in the mod section, click 'change', select your mod, then restart the game. If it is the first time playing mods, you probably should click the 'default' button on the mod screen, then restart and try again.

Hope this helps .
